If you haven't figured it out yet, the search function on this site is screwy. bad.

your best bet for any css.net searches is to actually go to google, type your search, and add cobaltss or cobaltss.net to the end of the google search.

then you did it wrong or you got a different problem

there are 2 things that control it 1 is the boost bypass solenoid and the boost bypass actuator by correctly doing the boost bypass mod you take the solenoid out of the circuit and then that leaves the boost bypass actuator if you disable the solenoid by removing the vacuum source and you still have a low pressure problem then you either have a bad actuator or cracked vacuum lines or a stuck open butterfly on the blower
